History
Infobip was founded by Silvio Kutić, Roberto Kutić, and Izabel Jelenić in Vodnjan, Croatia, in 2006.[9][10] Before this, Silvio Kutić developed a platform called Virtual Community, which facilitated group communication via web, email, and SMS. The platform’s first use was for sending a Christmas message from the Vodnjan town hall to members of the diaspora. Recognizing limitations in the platform’s scalability, Kutić began developing a communications API, which eventually led to the formation of Infobip.[11][12]
In 2014 and 2015, the company expanded operations into Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region.[13][14][15]
In 2020, Infobip raised $200 million from One Equity Partners. At the time, its valuation was estimated to exceed $1 billion, making it the first Croatian company to reach "unicorn" status (a term referring to privately held startups valued over $1 billion).[7][16] That year, Infobip also acquired OpenMarket, a cloud messaging firm based in Seattle, United States.[17]
In July 2022, Infobip finalized its acquisition of Peerless Network, a U.S.-based telecommunications provider founded in 2008.[19] Infobip's revenue reached €1.55 billion in 2022 and €1.735 billion in 2023.[20] The company's global communications platform handles 453 billion interactions per year, or 37 billion per month, with 301 billion being SMS interactions.[21] During Cyber Week 2024, Infobip saw a 41% increase in total interactions, growing from 8.2 billion in 2023 to 11.6 billion in 2024.[22][23][24]
